In the Tang Mansion, there are already lights, and the servants at home have been busy arranging for a day. The atmosphere in the mansion is even more lively than the New Year, because the emperor has decreed that Tang Chen's second daughter Tang Wangshu is a concubine.

The status of the concubine in the harem is second only to the queen, and Tang Wangshu, who has reached the age of 20, is still the first woman to be directly named a concubine since the beginning of the dynasty. According to the rules set by the Ji family, the age of a woman married by the royal family cannot exceed 18 years old, in other words, the power of the Nanrong family is enough to change the rules set by the ancestors of the royal family.

At this time, Tang Wangshu and his sister Tang Weige were in the room of his mother Nanrong Cultural Bureau, selecting items to marry. First of all, there must be no gold coins, gold bars and the like among the items, because those things are collectively called golden dragons, and they all have the mark of the royal family on them, which are not unique to the Nangong family.

For Nanrong Qufeng, the current head of the Nanrong family, the Nanrong family and the royal family are on an equal footing, and if the Ji family's world was not in charge of the Nanrong family, the Jiuyuan Kingdom would have changed hands long ago.

Nan Rong Wenjun took out a treasure box from the inner room, carefully placed it in front of his two daughters, and dialed the mechanism on it to open the keyhole.

Tang Weige and Tang Wangshu were very puzzled, they didn't know what it was, such a beautiful box had such a complicated mechanism, even the keyhole was hidden in the mechanism.

Nan Rong Wenjun pulled off a hairpin on his head and handed it to Tang Wangshu: "This is the key." ”

The two sisters were even more surprised, they had no idea that the key to the treasure box was the hairpin that their mother wore on their heads every day. I immediately understood why my mother didn't let the two of them touch the hairpin with a crescent moon charm from childhood to adulthood.

After Tang Wangshu opened the treasure box with a hairpin, he saw that there was an object as large as the palm of his hand, shaped like a crescent moon, and the word "Nanrong" was engraved on the object.

Tang Weige and Tang Wangshu first looked at the object, and then looked at Nanrong Wenjun.

Nan Rong Wenjun picked up the object and said: "The crescent moon is the symbol of our Nanrong family, and this moonstone shaped like a crescent moon is the treasure of our family, whoever holds this moonstone is the master of the Nanrong family." ”

The two sisters were even more surprised, in that case, how could this treasure be here with their mother? Shouldn't it be handed over to my grandfather Nanrong for safekeeping?

Although the two didn't ask, Nan Rong Wenjun still knew the doubts of the two daughters, so he answered: "A few days ago, your grandfather sent this moon stone over, because this is your dowry." ”

Tang Wangshu understood something: "In other words, a few days ago, my grandfather knew that the emperor would make me a concubine?" ”

Tang Wangshu's meaning was that it was not the emperor's intention to make her a concubine, but the instruction of her grandfather Nanrong Wenjun, and the emperor had to obey, the most important thing is that when she got married, she would also bring the treasures of the Nanrong family with her, indicating that the Nanrong family would never rebel against the royal attitude of the Ji family.

Tang Weige sneered: "In this way, the emperor is not marrying you, but the forces of the Nanrong family." As long as this thing is there, you will have the final say in the harem in the future. ”

As the eldest sister, Tang Weige's personality is different from that of her younger sister Tang Wangshu, she is always so arrogant, even if she talks in front of her parents, she is straight and does not go around in circles, while Tang Wangshu is usually silent, but she is far more calm than her sister, and she has more city.

However, just in terms of appearance, as long as Tang Weige doesn't speak, he is definitely a beauty in the world, and although Tang Wangshu is also a beauty, he is not as gorgeous as his sister, just like a cuckoo hidden in the peony bush.

Nan Rong Wenjun did not stop Tang Weige's outspokenness, nor did he answer Tang Wangshu's question, but said: "As long as you marry into the royal family, then the world will be stable." ”

Who is the world stable? The Ji family? Or is it from Nanrong's family?

——

When Tang Chen and Tang Xiaohao returned to the house, Tang Xiaohao was already yawning, and he didn't have any interest in the lanterns in the mansion, so he directly told Tang Chen that he was going back to sleep, and then walked to the side courtyard where he lived.

As soon as Tang Xiaohao entered the side courtyard, Tang Dun greeted him: "Young master, it's a great event." ”

Tang Xiaohao yawned and said, "I know, my second sister will be a concubine soon." ”

Tang Dun was extremely excited: "This is simply a great joy!" ”

Tang Xiaohao's face was expressionless: "What are you happy about?" You don't think that my second sister has become a concubine, and as a slave of the Tang Mansion, you will be able to be as domineering as those subordinates of the Nanrong family in the future? ”

Tang Dun smiled awkwardly, it was obvious that he was thinking so.

Tang Xiaohao walked forward: "You have completely interpreted what it means for a person to ascend to heaven. The emperor is more than fifty people, and he is half an old man, my second sister has just turned twenty, and she has to be ruined by that old bastard at this flower-like age. ”

Tang Dun was so frightened when he heard the words that he went up to cover Tang Xiaohao's mouth: "Young master, be quiet, don't talk nonsense, what you just said is enough to die eight hundred times." ”

Tang Xiaohao looked at Tang Dun and said, "I'll die once, and I'll die eight hundred times." By the way, what about the dead cat? ”

Tang Dun said: "I don't know, I probably went out to harm those kittens and dogs again." ”

Tang Xiaohao said helplessly: "Why don't those people hate us, the animals raised by dignitaries and nobles are so arrogant and domineering, and a cat dares to cross species and a dog, what kind of world is this." ”

As soon as Tang Xiaohao walked to the front of the big house, he saw the second sister Tang Wangshu standing there with a smile and a food box in her hand.

Seeing this, Tang Dun immediately bowed his head and retreated.

Tang Wangshu handed the food box to Tang Xiaohao: "The dim sum of Sijizhai is all filled with bean paste. ”

Tang Xiaohao took the food box with an expressionless face, sat directly on the steps and opened the food box, took out a piece and ate it.

Tang Wangshu also sat next to him, looked at Tang Xiaohao, and took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.

Tang Wangshu said: "You should also pay attention to eating, don't eat with a mouth full of food, it will make people laugh in the future." ”

Tang Xiaohao looked at Tang Wangshu: "Who makes you laugh?" The princess of Bomeng who carries the lamb all day long? ”

Tang Wangshu put down the handkerchief: "You also know?" ”

Tang Xiaohao picked up another piece of snack: "Why us?" ”

Tang Wangshu said with a smile: "This is a great blessing, others can't ask for it." ”

Tang Xiaohao looked at the dim sum in his hand: "Sister, you said, did you know that this dim sum would be eaten before it was made?" ”

Tang Wangshu also looked at the piece of dim sum: "Flour, bean paste, water, sugar, and oil are mixed together to have a shape, first have a shape, and then bathe in the fire, and only after the fire can it be called a dim sum." ”

Tang Xiaohao bit off half of the snack: "The result is not that it was eaten." ”

Tang Wangshu still had a gentle smile on his face: "Because dim sum is eaten by people." ”

Tang Xiaohao looked at the remaining half of the snack: "Just like us, we are destined to be sacrificed when we are born." ”

Tang Wangshu got up and said, "It's not early, I'm going back to the room, don't eat it all, I'll kill you." ”

Tang Xiaohao just squeezed out a smile at the second sister, and then walked into the house with a food box.

Tang Wangshu looked at the closed door and knew very well that in this transaction, the only victim was his younger brother.

——

On the third watch, when the Yingtian bell in the center of Shendu City was ringed, the five beggars also quietly came to the door of the inn.

The beggar at the head commanded in a low voice, "One goes to the back door, two take cover with bows on the eaves next to them, and the rest follow me." ”

After the arrangement was made, the crowd dispersed, and the middle-aged beggar easily jumped onto the roof of the inn with one person, but the beggar who followed behind made a sound because his footsteps were too heavy when he fell.

The middle-aged beggar turned around and said, "Raise the magic power above the waist!" ”

The little beggar nodded, luck on the spot, and only then followed the middle-aged beggar to continue moving forward.

The middle-aged beggar walked for a while and then stopped, leaned on the roof and sniffed with his nose: "It's here." ”

The little beggar immediately took out a small bottle, and when the middle-aged beggar uncovered the tile, he poured the liquid from the small bottle. The liquid leaves the bottle and falls into the air before turning into smoke and spreading throughout the room.

The middle-aged beggar counted thirty times in his mind, then turned over and hung upside down under the eaves, picked open the window below with a knife, observed for a while, and then jumped in by inertia.

As soon as the middle-aged beggar and the little beggar landed, the little beggar was suddenly dragged away by something, and just before the middle-aged beggar came to his senses, the oil lamp on the table was lit, and sitting next to the oil lamp was the scar man of the Nanrong family.

And the little beggar's beard, which had been lying in ambush in the corner, reached out and grabbed his throat, and as long as his five fingers were a little harder, the little beggar's neck would be missing a piece of meat.

The scar man pressed the strange rectangular box with one hand and put the other hand on the tabletop: "It's you stinky people again, it's over, isn't it?" Do you have to trouble us to break the Golden Gate? ”

The middle-aged beggar said coldly: "It's already become a decanter, and you still claim to be the one who broke the Golden Gate?" I know, people who become caricatures will have thicker skin than before. ”

The scar man looked at his beard and signaled that he was ready to do it at any time, while he got up and said, "Didn't you ask your Excellency?" ”

The middle-aged beggar replied: "The beggar helps Wu Tianlu." ”

The beard asked, "Do you know who the two of us are?" ”

Wu Tianlu glanced at his beard: "Broken Golden Gate, Zhang Haotian, Liao Ran." ”

The scar man is Zhang Haotian, and Liao Ran is his junior brother, and the two became heretical traitors in their early years because of their defection to the government. Because people in the heretical way are not allowed to have direct contact with the imperial court, if they take refuge in the court and become their eagle dogs, no matter what the reason, they are traitors in the heretical way, and all people in the heretical way can be killed.

Liao Ran let out a strange laugh: "Since you know, you should also know that none of the people who are chasing us can live, right?" ”

Wu Tianlu looked very relaxed: "That's because you took refuge in the Nanrong family, and if you changed to other forces, the two of you would have died a long time ago." ”

Zhang Haotian patted the rectangular box, and a weapon with an extremely narrow blade immediately popped out of the box, although it was also a knife, but it had no tip, just like a long ruler, this was the stele knife of the broken golden gate.

Zhang Haotian held the stele knife and put on a posture: "Then you can try!" ”

Wu Tianlu felt something from his waist and squeezed it in his fist: "Then try my Huaquan!" ”

Zhang Haotian raised his knife and slashed, Wu Tianlu easily avoided it, and punched him in the abdomen, the moment the fist hit the abdomen, the surface of the fist seemed to be on fire, and Zhang Haotian's whole person flew out directly and smashed on the wall behind him.

Liao Ran on the side immediately said: "Brother Tian, he has a rune paper in his hand!" ”

After Liao Ran finished speaking, he directly killed the little beggar who was restrained by himself, and the poor little beggar's hand just touched the rune paper on his waist.

The little beggar was killed, Wu Tianlu was not moved, but just smashed at Liao Ran when he raised his fist, Liao Ran of course knew the power of the fist, and after activating the square box mechanism and popping up the stele knife, he avoided it with a knife, and fled directly to Zhang Haotian's position, supporting the other party and jumping out of the window directly.

After Liao Ran and Zhang Haotian broke out of the window, Liao Ran grabbed the eaves and swung directly onto the roof, and as soon as he stood firmly, an iron arrow shot from the opposite roof.

Liao Ran quickly grabbed the arrow with his hand and raised his hand to grab the arrow, who knew that as soon as he pinched it, the iron arrow exploded directly.

Liao Ran was injured with one hand, hanging on one side, gritting his teeth and using the remaining hand to support Zhang Haotian and continue to run forward, and the iron arrows that continued to shoot from the roofs on both sides made it difficult for the people who were already seriously injured to dodge, and they turned into hedgehogs in an instant, and those arrows were wrapped in rune paper, and they would be blown up if they hit, so the two of them didn't run far before they rolled down from the roof and smashed heavily on the ground.

Wu Tianlu also landed on the street, and the two beggar archers on the roof also jumped down.

Just as the three of them were about to get closer to check, they heard neat footsteps coming from the street entrance, and the light of the torches would also illuminate there.

"Hall Master, it's the Divine Capital Army!" One of the archers said, "Withdraw?" ”

Wu Tianlu looked at Zhang Haotian and Liao Ran who were dying on the ground, but he was unwilling, and rushed forward directly to give the two armors a final fatal blow, just at the moment when his fist was about to fall, a man in black suddenly flashed out of the corner and kicked Wu Tianlu away.

Seeing this, the two archers were just about to react when the group of Shendu troops in the distance spotted them.

The captain of the Shendu Military Academy, who was the leader, drew his sword: "What person!?" Hold it! ”

Wu Tianlu turned over and got up, and said to the archer, "Withdraw!" Go your separate ways! See you tomorrow at the West City Gate! ”

After Wu Tianlu finished speaking, he jumped to the roof, but instead of fleeing, he chased after the man in black who had kicked him away earlier.

Although the man in black was extremely fast, he was obviously faster than Wu Tianlu. Wu Tianlu judged from the person's jumping posture that this person was definitely not an ordinary person in the rivers and lakes, he ran and jumped not only with light skills, but also with magical power, so the person who attacked must be a person from the outside world.

Who will it be? Why did the heretic stop himself from killing the carapace? Is it a heretic traitor?

With these questions, Wu Tianlu continued to track the man in black, and the strange thing was that the man in black had already dumped him every time, but he appeared again, as if waiting for him.

It's not going to be a trap, is it? Thinking of this, Wu Tianlu stopped directly on a high wall, and the courtyard inside the high wall was lit up, as if the owner of this family had a new happy event.

Just when Wu Tianlu was still looking for the man in black, the man in black suddenly appeared and kicked Wu Tianlu again, so Wu Tianlu flew directly into the courtyard and smashed into the window of a certain house.

The loud noise woke up Tang Xiaohao, who was sleeping, who was delirious.

Tang Xiaohao got up from the bed and looked at the broken window through the faint light outside, as well as Wu Tianlu, who was stumbling on the ground inside the house.

The man in black had already seriously injured Wu Tianlu with that kick, and with the fall, Wu Tianlu was speechless, so he had to look at Tang Xiaohao vigilantly.

At this moment, Tang Xiaohao hugged the quilt and shouted, "Flower thief!" ”

Wu Tianlu, who was originally confused, suddenly sobered up when he heard this.
